  1. Okay cool, you want to talk about numbers then you're aware that there has been tons of polling to suggest that Bernie is at worst no better than any of the other nominees to beat Trump. There is no data to suggest that Bernie is going to cause all these suburban moms to suddenly run back to the GOP, a betting line doesn't prove anything lol. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/
  2. It's a loooong shot, but given how much Texas has transformed in the past decade I really think Bernie could flip it with him galvanizing the Latino vote there that probably didn't turn out in strong numbers before. At the very least he's going to make Trump burn a ton of money defending it.
  3. First off, this exact opposite candidate of Bernie ran in 2016 and we saw barely any gain in down ballot races. Second of all, acting as if there's this enormous bloc of swing voters that are squishy and voted GOP but switched to Democrats in 2018 and suddenly Bernie is going to scare them away is, at best, bullshit. There will undoubtedly be people who may be turned off, but there is no scenario where the House is going to flip back to GOP or even come close with an energized voting base that Bernie has. This idea of this magnificent swing voters is mostly bullshit anyways, people identify with a party and sometimes they do or they don't come out. Trump being on the ticket is going to motivate a LOT of Democrats to come out regardless of what they think about Bernie, the ones who are suggesting that this isn't going to happen have said that Bernie had no chance in hell at winning the nomination and yet he is the one that keeps rising in the polls. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/02/06/rachel-bitecofer-profile-election-forecasting-new-theory-108944
  4. I'm sorry are you actually suggesting that Bernie just simply hoodwinked a ton of people in Nevada without talking about any of his policies? Suddenly the curtain is going to be opened and all these people are going to vote for Republicans? Do you know a single thing about how his campaign operates?
  5. There are democrats who have voted a shitload more for Trump's judicial picks and legislation than Bernie has, no one cares except never-Trumpers. It's fine if you don't vote for Bernie, again we were the ones constantly lectured by people that we gave Trump his victory, but you can never say Trump is this existential threat that must be defeated at all costs.
  6. lol, except polling in Nevada has showed he won over the moderate and more conservative democrats.
  7. LMAO, where in the blue fuck did that number come from? First of all, do you not know how a progressive tax works? Second of all, all income over $29,000 is not going to be taxed at 52% dipshit, here's a freaking tool to help you. Your taxes aren't changed from their current amount until you hit $250,000. https://www.bernietax.com/
  8. Damn, I don't follow UFC much anymore. That makes sense.
  9. Jesus did Fury control that.
  10. We've discussed this in the Bernie thread, but I really don't see him picking someone who, unfortunately because of his age, wouldn't pick up his leftist movement and push damn near as hard as he will. Tammy Baldwin has been floated as the person who is progressive, from the mid-west (Wisconsin), and has been on record supporting M4A.
  11. I'm 100% behind Warren as VP and my plan all along was to vote for her or Bernie depending on who had the lead coming into Georgia. Also, Ilhan Omar would be a good VP and for the record she has never identified as a DSA, she is a progressive who isn't trying to label herself. In fact here is a picture of me and my daughter taken by wife at a Warren rally in Lawrenceville, GA near where we live in the Atlanta suburbs not long after she announced before Bernie did, she smartly was trying to target the suburbs in Georgia where we could be a possible swing state. I know you don't know me, but to paint me as a stereotypical whatever Bro in one post where I'm am chastising the worst of the racist bigots that support Trump is strange to me coming from you.
  12. To be clear, Ilhan Omar is a Muslim woman of color and you think that it's stupid to pick her as VP because she's too alienating? She is the only one who had the damn guts to stand up to Elliot Abrams for the massacres he helped orchestrate (e.g. El Mozote massacre) after he was freaking revived from the dead to deal with Venezuela. She, at least in my opinion, would be one of the best Vice Presidents we've ever had as a country to truly represent what the US's population really is. Like I'm not sure of how familiar you are with her as a progressive representative, but anyone who is that Islamophobic isn't going to vote Democrat. If we want to argue about what she's done in terms of actual work then that's fine but it doesn't seem to me that you're suggesting this is dumb because she's inexperienced. I'm not trying to be insensitive to who you are either, I know you live a much more difficult life than my white male cis-het ass. I'm just genuinely surprised as to what your reaction is here and I'm wondering if it has to deal with other posters on this site and less to do with Bernie's actual supporters.
  13. I'm sorry, are you seriously suggesting that we need to be nice to MAGA people? That was what my post was clearly about. Bernie literally was shit on because he suggested that Trump voters didn't vote exclusively on racism.
  14. Am I taking crazy pills? Isn't this what "Bernie Bros' were constantly lectured about since Trump won because they didn't show up to vote for Hillary?
  15. Also keep forgetting to post this regularly now, MAGA shithead gets knocked out by Kevin Lee a while back.
  16. I see your new avatar lol!
  17. I like Beto, but I really don't see him not picking someone who has a track record as being very very progressive and on the books for supporting M4A and probably a GND.
  18. Yes, I was 100% serious in that Ilhan Omar, a first term US rep, should be the VP for no other reason than spite and that no other person, even if more qualified and important, should be considered.
  19. Bernie currently has 54.2% of the CCD (whatever the fuck kind of delegate metric that is) and you were the guy who kept saying he can't win because he isn't getting enough people coalescing behind him. Now you've just straight up moved onto whatever numbers he gets he'll just lose to Trump?
  20. She wasn't born a US Citizen so she's ineligible. I'd kill to see her though because probably a good 10% of MAGA shitheads would die anger induced heart attacks.
  21. Pete is actually warning against Sanders after they've already called it for Smooth Bernie because of socialism blah blah. This is the results thus far, perhaps your message isn't a winning one in states that aren't 90% white.
  22. The most diverse state thus far in the primary, a state that I believe isn't even majority white, and Bernie is just destroying the competition if these results hold.
  23. Chuck Rocha is quite possibly the most important person on Sanders' team, I've posted that before but I think we're really going to see it validated here in a few hours.
  24. You could say the same for literally all the other candidates though. I've posted this thought several times but this is about a movement to push the party back to it being closer to FDR and to give hopefully my daughter's generation hope that someday she won't have to worry about being bankrupted by medical bill, taking out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans or hoping we can afford to save up that kind of money, as well as taking extreme steps to address climate change. If he fails it every single thing at the very least you will see that the appetite is there among the voters.
